Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Reasnor has consistently maintained its "Low Diversity" categorization. The white population has remained the majority, ranging from 86% to 96%.

This modest economic improvement correlates with slight increases in diversity, suggesting that economic growth may be attracting a more diverse population on a small scale.
Population trends in Reasnor have been volatile. The population reached its peak of 537 in 2017, coinciding with the highest median income. It then dropped to a low of 407 in 2020, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before slightly recovering to 458 in 2022. These fluctuations have not significantly impacted the racial composition or economic trends of the area.
Reasnor's median income of $76,132 in 2022 is likely above the national median, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. The area's lack of diversity contrasts with national trends that show increasing diversity in many parts of the United States. The stability of the racial composition in Reasnor suggests it may be somewhat isolated from broader demographic shifts occurring in more urban or diverse areas of the country.
In conclusion, Reasnor has experienced some economic growth over the past decade, but its demographic composition has remained largely unchanged. It continues to be a "Low Diversity" area with a strong white majority, showing only minimal signs of increased diversity. This demographic stability, combined with modest economic growth, indicates a community that has maintained its traditional character while experiencing some economic benefits. The lack of significant demographic change may suggest limited exposure to the cultural and economic dynamism often associated with more diverse communities.
